He's been working on his coordination. He puts his hands in his mouth and also his toys but he's really been putting in the time with his monkey-foot coordination.
You see, I only recently realized that his chair had different levels of reclining. So as he laid in the most reclined position, it was hard to reach those tantalizing toys with his hands. And that purple monkey in the middle plays a little song when you pull on him.
Sometimes he gets a little riled up when he talks to the monkey,
But who needs hands when you've got feet? He's learned to reach up there with is little toes, grab on, and pull! He can make that monkey sing!
We're hearing that monkey song quite a bit these days. And his work is spilling over into other aspects of his life. At his recent trip to the doctor, Luke reached up with those toes and grabbed hold of the doctor's stethoscope as she was trying to listen to his heart and lungs and would not let go. She had to pry them off. He has also been known to grab onto your arm as his diaper is being changed. At first it took what appeared like quite a bit of work. Now he does it with ease.
And if he could I'm sure he would tell us, "It's all in a day's work!"

Don't both you and Dan have amazingly long toes?
